Hingst’s Sign Post: Pinstriping Tips from Tramp Warner

For more than forty years, John “Tramp” Warner has been painting cartoons and pinstriping. In 2008, his dedication to his craft was recognized by his peers, when he was presented with the lifetime achievement award at the Milwaukee Pinstripe Legend charity event.

A native of the Toronto metropolitan area in Canada, Tramp began his career as a teenager, when he bought his first can of 1-Shot lettering enamel in the late sixties. That’s all it took to get him hooked on paint.

Sign Builder Illustrated Contributor Jim Hingst has been privileged to know Tramp Warner for many years. In that time, he has learned a great deal from him about the paint side of the business, and in his latest “Hingst’s Sign Post” blog, he shares a couple of his tips.
